I can't say enough about the superb service! From start to finish they are superior to anyone I have ever visited in this industry. When my deceased husband's truck was totaled, they not only held my hand through it, but they gave me sound advice for purchasing a new car! When we were talking about the truck, I never felt rushed. Mike and Nate would have stayed there for hours to help and assist. When I purchased a new car and proceed to have a small fender bender they took care of the damage every step of the way. If you ever need auto body repair run to this place, don't walk and don't look anywhere else you won't find another business like Haws Auto Body read more

Mike and his staff are top notch! I brought in an older Ferrari for repair and looks better than new. They took the time and no shortcuts with great attention to detail. These guys know their business and are also excellent with communication throughout every step! Thanks again Mike! read more

Haws' Auto is amazing. I recently got into an fender bender. I was turned away by 3 local auto body shops because of the type of paint I have on my car. Mike at Haws' was not only able to match my flat matt paint but he kept in constant contact with me through the process. The car was done and done well. The service was good enough for me to actually post a review. Thank you guys for everything! read more

Worked with Mike on recent fender repair. Quality of work exceeded my expectations and was essentially perfect. Customer service was fantastic with everyone I worked with. Slightly more expensive than other alternatives but workmanship, on time delivery and overall value made this a great experience. Arranged car rental, too. Thanks again. read more

Got my car detailed and washed. Super affordable and such great service/hospitality. What a nice staff. For the price, you really can't beat a basic interior and exterior wash. Highly recommend! read more

First and foremost, absolutely sucks that you are reading over reviews for an auto body shop. Hope that there were no injuries. We recently got hit by another car (everyone was ok, thx for asking) and our insurance rep recommended Haws. We took our car here and we were amazed at the level of service and professionalism. In particular, Leah was amazing at communicating with us throughout the process. She also coordinated with both insurance companies to make sure the deductible and everything would be paid and we could get our car back asap. Although i certainly hope that we don't get in another accident, it's great to know that Haws would be our first and only call to get everything fixed. read more

Happily, Haws is here for me! Mike, you are a wonderful, caring guy, and the work you perform (or have performed by staff) is always showroom perfect. I trust you with my cars, and I feel comfortable as a lone woman entering into your auto body / repair facility. Thank you for your excellent work. Everything has always gone smoothly. Insurance issues (your staff just breezes right through this stuff!), car rentals (again, I never have to tax MY brain...it's all done for me!), and then the stellar result. Looks like my car(s) just came off the showroom floor! Thanks! TH read more

This Lafayette repair shop did a solid, professional job taking care of my burglarized SUV. They had the supply connections to bring in the replacement window same day. They completed the work in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. They offered to get me back to the shop via shuttle service. Found my car looking shiny and new with all the glass shards removed. Excellent location right next to the parking lot for the over-the-top public library in downtown Lafayette. Bonus points for one of their employees had played drums with my brother decades ago. No need to leave Lamorinda when in need of glass repairs. read more

If you're looking for the best, look no further! I took my Lexus, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Porsche to this auto body shop and was treated great! The quality of work was flawless. All of my experiences here, over the years, has been extremely seamless and consistent which made me feel awesome. I can assure anyone considering top notch auto body, you will not be disappointed coming here. Thank you Haws Auto body for always doing your best to my experiences great! read more

As good as it gets! I keep my cars forever and they look almost new when I sell them. Recently my new car was hit and I was heartbroken. I was treated like am member of the family and my car is like new again. There is no reason to go anywhere else. read more

Haw's under Mike's leadership has established a first class team who produces quality work on time and works diligently with the insurance company to insure a first class work is completed. Mike and his team have provided excellent customer service and work, Highly recommend Haw's. Greg read more

As a longtime customer, Haws has never disappointed. Their work is meticulous. Every single time I have brought my cars in, I have left feeling like Haws turned back time; my cars look brand new. Haws' customer service is friendly and empathetic. And when I have chosen not to put a claim in through insurance, they have worked with me to customize their services to fit my budget. I highly recommend this business. read more

I have had my cars worked on by Haws autobody off and on for the past 10 to 15 years. I haven't had a need lately until my Z3 was in an accident. I brought it to them to fix the damage from the small accident, but ended up having them do a full detail on that car, a full detail and ceramic coating on my Toyota Tacoma, then on my sons BMW, and his fiancé's is as well! They all turned out fantastic. Next it's my wife's car's turn. read more

I'm so impressed with Haws' Auto Plaza! I initially called because I had a bad experience with another shop, and now I'm so glad I found Haws'. My experience there was great from start to finish. Mike was a pleasure to work with. He called to give me updates throughout the repair process. He worked with my insurance and claim adjuster to get a tricky claim taken care. Everyone who works there is so friendly. The work detail is flawless. They even returned my rental car for me! Will definitely recommend to others. read more

See all

I brought my car in for self-paid repairs and the initial estimate seemed affordable so I chose to move forward. Thereafter the shop 'found' additional work required. This was at the onset of COVID-19. The original quote must have been grossly underestimated. The new estimate was twice the original quote. I still proceeded. I was away and needed to pay for the repairs over the phone and have the vehicle delivered to my nearby residence. When I finally return to see the car, the completed work looked bad. Body parts were noticeably mis-aligned and specific instructions which I requested of the shop were not followed. They failed to replace the OEM headlamp bulbs with the high intensity ones I had previously installed. All in all, I am rather dissatisfied and do not plan on being a returning customer. read more

I've brought my car here unfortunately too many times, people seem to like hitting my car :( But these guys always fix it up real nice! I will saw they aren't the fastest but I never been disappointed with the quality of there work plus they have a lifetime guarantee on all there work. read more

Let me start by saying I work for State Farm & get yelled at pretty much daily by customers with poor claim experiences,due to crappy work from some really well known body shops in the area. So when choosing shops for myself, I am always leery. Unfortunately my brand new vehicle has been hit 3 times in the last 6 months & I have had nothing but great service & great work done by Haws. My car still looks brand new & they always go above and beyond when it comes to customer service. Mike is awesome & goes to extraordinary efforts to make my life easier when I need them to repair my vehicle. So much so, that I live in Pittsburg & willingly drive past dozens of body shops to bring my vehicles here. There is no other body shop I would let touch my cars, & even though it sucks having your car damaged, dealing with Mike & his crew makes it as an enjoyable experience as it can be. read more

They worked long distance with me to get my Mom's beloved 20 year old Camary back to working order. They went the extra mile to do a bit of detailing, rock chip repair, and fabulous communication with my 86 year old Mom. read more

Brought the car in due to a mouse infestation which turned out to be even worse than we thought. Mike and his team gave us good advice from the start and handled everything professionally with the insurance. They essentially took the car apart, cleaned it, ordered spare parts and rebuilt it. At pickup time Mike took time to walk us through what had been done, even after normal closing hours. Could not ask for more. Highly recommended! read more

Why add insult to injury? The last thing anyone wants after their car gets dinged is to deal with a snarky auto body shop on top of it. Over the years my car has had a few episodes, and each time my experience at Haws Plaza Auto has been superb. Mike, the owner is personable, straightforward and informative, and Lisa the receptionist is so nice. I just picked up my car today, as scheduled, and besides the perfect workmanship, my car was washed, vacuumed, and SANITIZED. I'm a certified germophobe, and these days, that was very much appreciated. I can highly recommend them. read more

Best location ever and best crew I have 2015 black Dodge Challenger and they made a perfect job for the car thank you guys for the great job and great customer service read more

Haws Auto Body - Body Shops Near Me - Lafayette, California

My 2018 Honda Pilot EX-L was recently stolen and then recovered a couple days later 50 miles away where the thieves had smoked cigars, cigarettes, and weed, spilled beer on the seats and floor mats, and generally trashed the interior. It smelled soooo bad. I took the car to Haws for detailing (my first time there), and they seriously got the car looking absolutely as good as new. They were friendly and professional throughout, a real pleasure to work with. I didn't think the smells could be gotten out, but literally the car was like new. We immediately took my wife's car there, a 2013 Lexus 450h that probably hadn't been detailed in 5 years, and they got her car looking good as new also. My wife has very detailed tastes, and the Haws crew made sure she was 100% happy. This is a totally trustworthy business who does great work at a good price. That's all I can ask for--they have earned a customer for life. read more

Best in the business!! These guys make you feel good about leaving your car there. I wouldn't take my vette anywhere else

The Haws' team does excellent work, and provides excellent service overall. I appreciate their prompt communication and flexibility in terms of drop off and pickup. We've had three vehicles serviced there, with all the body work done by Loren S. The cars always come back at least as good as new. I can't imagine going anywhere else. Loren is an artist. Thanks, Haws! read more

Awesome service. My car was in two separate accidents with 3 different insurance companies involved. Taylor was very well versed in the ins and outs of the insurance claims process. He cared enough to explain my options and went the extra mile to do additional inspections of the car to find potential hidden damage proactively. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Haws Auto Body repaired by 2019 VW Atlas that as involved in a hit and run. Haws is a VW Certified Collision Repair Facility, they restored my Atlas to like new condition and worked with my insurance company. Their work is backed by a lifetime warranty. Mike was cordial and professional, thank you Haws for doing a great job. read more

Wonderful, professional staff. My car was taken care of in timely and professional manner. Highly recommend!

My son had his new car just 3 weeks and opened the drivers door into an oncoming car. No one was hurt but sheesh. State Farm recommended Haws and they were the first quote we got. Greg was incredibly helpful on how to minimize the cost and options. We landed on getting a replacement door the same color from a wreck being parted out. Took a few weeks to find the door and once we had it we had the car back in 48 hours. And it was 1/2 of the price of Mikes Auto Body also in Lafayette who were only interested in using 100% new parts and the premium paid through the insurance claims. I would definitely recommend Haws. read more

I went in and wanted to see about an estimate for some work before I sell my car. I think her name was Leah...was SO kind to me, looked at all the damage, assessed the work needed, and told me flat out that it wasn't worth her company fixing the car. She looked up Kelly Blue Book prices and even emailed me a craigslist ad for a comparable car, and basically gave me awesome advice for half an hour, free of charge. I was shocked. I always feel like car places are trying to take advantage of me. I almost wish I had work to give them! But instead I will write this nice review. :) read more

If I could give Haw's Plaza Auto 10 Stars, I would do it without question because they deserve it. A month ago, I was involved in a fairly substantial accident in which I was rear-ended and pushed into the car in front by a texting driver while I was stopped at a traffic light. Despite the obvious liability, the insurance companies have done nothing but give me the run around. Leah and Haw's have been the only honest and straightforward parties with which I have dealt--I cannot give Leah any higher praise. She has been amazing at coordinating the insurance companies' 3rd party estimators and providing accurate, direct and honest information about the damage to the vehicle which has allowed me to deal with the insurance companies that are doing nothing. It is so refreshing and rare to find a business that actually cares about not only the quality of its work, but also the quality of its customer service. Without any question, this is the first and only place that I would recommend taking any vehicle that needs body work. read more

I was really bummed when I got a dent in my nearly new SUV. Haws did a fantastic job fixing it so that it looks like it never happened. Very nice people to deal with too! read more

I'm so happy with my '98 Toyota Camry XLE after repairing both the rear and front bumpers. The repairs were done quickly and the final cost was lower than the initial estimate. Also, I was given a rental to use while my car was in the shop, and the whole process was made very simple and affordable. Also, everyone was really nice and kept me informed about my cars progress so I knew how things were going. read more

This Auto place is very caring and does great work. We have used them for years and are very pleased. I would come from far away for this service and work. Mike is so knowledgeable and pleasant especially when you have do deal with fixing your dented car. read more

I brought my Mercedes in for repair to Hawes based upon the recommendation of my mechanic. These guys were professional, nice, and most importantly did a great job! Mike and the rest of the staff were wonderful. They took care of dealing with the insurance company and had my car finished timely. If you (unfortunately) need auto body repairs, this is the place to go! read more

Mike and Leah's customer service goes so far beyond anything I have ever experienced that I won't take my cars anywhere else. They bend over backwards to make it easy for their customers and the quality of the job is outstanding. They don't cut corners, so if you want a perfect finish to your repair this is the place to go to. Really friendly local family business too. read more

After reading my last post, Mike from Haws contacted me. He seemed very concerned with their lack of service and offered to make it right. Looking forward to taking the car back and getting it really washed and waxed properly this time! Thanks Mike! read more

Everything went so smoothly, just like it was supposed to. I highly recommend Haws. They did a good job in a timely manner and they cleaned my car inside and out. read more

I took my truck to Haw's following a recent car accident. They fixed it to perfection and were great to work with. Would highly recommend them. read more

Had several services here on different cars. I've had minor work and major work done here. This shop does the best job I have seen at matching paints and finishes. Always done on time, or sooner. Have sent my co-workers here, the referrals I send always come back happy. Bring your appetite, there is an over-sized candy dish at the front desk read more

Update...back to five stars. They did the right thing and repainted the car. All good, happy to recommend them without hesitation. Plus they sometimes have tootsie rolls in the waiting area! read more
